Want a Fun Entrepreneurship Event Near You?

Details: Lots of people helped VVM get off the ground. We want to pay it forward! Valley Venture Mentors (VVM) is partnering with fellow startup support organizations up and down the Connecticut River to inspire entrepreneurship and direct startups to resources. Co-sponsoring these events also gives VVM an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with all of the other awesome organizations supporting startups.

Startups: the Good, bad, and the Ugly – Provide inspiration through hearing entrepreneurs tell their stories so the audience can learn what the life of an entrepreneur is really like.

Pitch Camp: This is like Shark Tank, but with nice sharks. Startups (partner can provide or VVM will gladly do so) get a chance to give an investor-style presentation and get lovingly critical feedback.

Starting a Startup: Interactive lecture showing the best practices in how to get started.

Flavors of Capital: One of our most popular events, this interactive lecture introduces startups to the many different sources of funding for new ventures.

Entrepalooza: Quick (2 minutes!) presentations from representatives of the local entrepreneurship ecosystem. Each audience member then heads to breakouts to learn about the ecosystem player of most interest.
